Abstract
IN a review entitled “The Anthropology of Africa” in NATURE of May 2, p. 655, Prof. B. Malinowski pleaded for a fuller acknowledgment of the science of man as a force in colonial affairs, as well as for its academic recognition in the more important universities of Great Britain. The subject, as a matter of fact, is only taught at three universities—Oxford, Cambridge, and London—and neither of the older universities has an established chair of anthropology, in spite of the glorious tradition of Tylor at Oxford and of Haddon and Rivers at Cambridge. The present organisation of the anthropological departments, with such teachers as Dr. R. R. Marett, Mr. Henry Balfour, and Mr. Dudley Buxton at Oxford and Col. T. C. Hodson at Cambridge, would well warrant a full chair at each university.
